Ealing Soup Kitchen

Founded in the early 70’s, Ealing Soup Kitchen is run by a group of local churches, including St Stephen’s and is open every Saturday and Sunday, 3.30pm - 5 pm, in the church room at St. John’s Church, Mattock Lane, West Ealing, serving hot food and drinks to the homeless and needy in the Borough of Ealing.

There is usually also a selection of clothing and blankets available. At Christmas time we are open Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, for longer hours, and on Christmas Day and Boxing Day a full dinner is served.

Although we do have one part-time professional worker whose main job is counselling, all the other workers are volunteers, recruited mainly from the churches involved in the scheme: St. John’s, St. Stephen’s, St.Paul’s, St. Mary’s (South Ealing), Haven Green Baptist, Ealing Abbey, Ealing Christian Centre and Hope Community Church. Most teams welcome volunteers from other parts of the borough.

Donations of food, clothing, toiletry items, blankets, sleeping bags and, of course, money, are always welcome. There is a large box at the church centre where donations may be left. Please do not leave money in the box; that should be sent to the Co-ordinator: Julian Lloyd.
